Celiac friendly?

Amazing! Ate at this chain successfully twice in Vegas and tried it in Winnipeg and everything was just as good. Lettuce wraps, street noodles and fried rice were delicious and gluten free (I’m very sensitive). Highly recommend A+.

Ordered several times from their gluten free menu and always received great food that was gluten free. One of the few "safe" places for us celiac folks.

I love this place! I have celiac and a dairy allergy and eat here often and have NEVER had an issue. Every time I go, I alert my server of my allergies and they print off a menu of items I can eat based on my allergies. The lettuce wraps & Singapore noodles are a must! All GF foods come out on a circular black rimmed plate that says PF Changs so you know its a GF/allergy meal. If you order online your food will have a pink allergy sticker on it, just make sure you write your allergies/state you have celiac in the notes section. I ate here a ton before COVID & have ordered a few times now since COVID and havent gotten sick or had any reaction at all and I am extremely sensitive, like i will get gluten symptoms from just walking down the bread aisle at the store sensitive. To the person that said their food came back with gluten on the Nima Sensor - 1) Did you not state in the allergy box that you had celiac and/or allergy? 2) The Nima Sensor has been known to make errors with asian cuisine 3) Did your food have a pink allergy sticker on it when you ordered? If not, it’s best to call and double check!

Food is delicious, I didn't get sick which is a bonus...just wish it didn't cost so much to eat there.

I got glutened and sick from eating at this location. I am finding that P.F. Chang’s company-wide are not consistent with gluten free. I wish they did better.

Not good with cross contamination. May have a gluten free menu and supposed kitchen area. But every time we have tried this place my wife got sick.

Celiac friendly?

No

For a while after they first opened, they seemed aware of gluten and I never had reactions. I’m not sure if they just didn’t train their other chefs well, but for the past year or so, reactions have been terrible. I try again every once in a while just in case bc I love the food, but this time I’m finished. It’s just not worth the risk.

Online ordering can cause a simple mistake! While ordering on the gluten free menu you can make substitutions that are NOT gluten free 😭 spicy chicken meal allowed to substitute shrimp

PF Changs is the best place for GF food. They take incredible precautions and the food is very addicting. Spicy Changs Chicken, Mongolian Beef, Chicken Lettuce Wraps, and egg drop soup are my personal favs.

The GF chicken Lettuce wraps and fried rice are a go to! My non-GF husband even chooses the GF versions here he says it tastes better. Attentive and knowledgable staff even sent over a manager to make sure it was prepared correctly

Ordered all of these item from designated GF menu: egg drop soup, spicy chicken, beef magnolia, and the famous chicken wraps w/ lettuce. ALL came back as GLUTEN found when tested separate in the Nima sensor. I LOVE PF Changs and so I just really really wanted it to be GF! Which is why I tested all items individually. Of course restuarants cannot ensure 100% GF but, please remember, just because you do not get sick - doesn't make it gluten free. :( bummed about this one.

Delicious spicy chicken and fried rice, both gluten free!

Celiac friendly?

No

Awful! Drove 45 mins there (and back) only to realize the food was ALL wrong (had someone go over food there- to "ensure" everything in order was there- that person doesn't know what 'correct' is (their words, not mine). First- ALL of the food was cold (I know it was a 45 min drive back, but every other food places' food stays hot- in insulated cooler). The kids chicken fried rice was an adult's, divided in half (so all the veggies) and the chicken was breaded (mgr says that's how they do all kids food bc kids are picky), yet the 'normal' kids chicken fried rice looked like it always does. (So yes, it's gf, but they add breading mix, but it's under the ppm for gf) WHAT?! All because kids are "picky", but apparently not ALL. The manager tried to make sense of what happened, but was getting texts and kept changing up what happened. In the end she gave us a refund (good, because there was NO WAY I'm risking a reaction when clearly they don't know what they're doing). Happy Birthday to my husband 🙄😡 Would not EVER recc this pf changs for GF or otherwise.

I ordered all Gluten free for my wife on Mother’s Day and unfortunately with Celiac she got so sick. It’s now 1 week later and she still feels sick. I reached out to the Fresno store and got no response from them. Very disappointed. We go to the Monterey store on a monthly basis and my wife has had no issues at all. Fresno sucks. This is the second bad experience with this store. Never again.

I’ve never had a problem here! A moderately sized GF menu and GF food comes out with a special plate if dining in and with a big orange sticker if taking out. They’re also doing take-out during COVID-19, so it’s a nice option to have.

Gave me a severe celiac reaction. Frustrating for two reasons because the gluten free option costs more and of course the week-long fun that is feeling like death. Their solution was to give me a gift card. Anyone want a gift card?

P.F.Chang was a great option for gluten free food. They have gone above and beyond to ensure you have an enjoyable experience. We ordered several gluten-free options but had no idea they provide gluten free sauces and soy sauce. Completely impressed by the food options.

Amazing! So many options and sauces for gluten free.

Ordered out during quarantine. GF Chang’s chicken and GF pad Thai are specified on GF menu and marked with stickers, but we tested with Nima Sensor and both came back with Gluten Found. Maybe quality control was off given limited staff during Covid lockdown, not sure. But a bit unsettling. I think we have ordered and tested in past and tests came back ok, but I don’t remember exactly.

I hope our experience is not normal, and I understand things are very different for all restaurants right now, but unfortunately the gluten free food we ordered was not gluten free. My son has been sick all day after our delivery last night. We'll have to see if he wants to give it another shot when the restaurants reopen for in person dining.

I told the waiter I was GF with celiac and ordered a GF option, but the order that was brought to me was not GF. I ate a few bites before realizing that my plate was the same as everybody else’s. The waiter hadn’t even coded my order correctly on the ticket. He apologized saying he thought there wasn’t a difference in preparation between the regular and GF spicy chicken. Do not take your chances at this restaurant if you have celiac. It made me sick.

Celiac friendly?

Yes

Orders GF Mongolian Beef and Chicken Fried Rice. Both tested on Nima sensor as safe! Mongolian Beef was really tasty but the chicken fried rice didn’t taste like much as it lacked seasoning and enough tamari to add flavor. Heard the server at a table next door saying that they don’t put the edamame on the menu as GF because it comes pre-packaged and they can’t guarantee there wasn’t cross-contamination before they handle it. Their servers seemed well training on GF protocol and I liked how they use different plates to distinguish Went again and Nima teared GF Beef with Broccoli and think that was really good too
